Homemade Celery Spice
I don't always want the saltiness of celery salt and i battle to find celery seeds, so i thought this recipe was a useful keeper! Edited 24 july 2008 : i didn't want to make this recipe public until i had tried it myself - this makes a really fragrant, flavoursome celery spice! a great, and simple, way to use up all your celery leaves.
Steps
Harvest all the leaves from 1 whole celery.
Bake on a cookie sheet , sprayed with non-stick spray , in the middle of the oven at 200c for 5 minutes.
Turn off the oven and leave in the oven while cooling.
Allow to dry out for a day.
When bone-dry , place in a plastic bag and crush.
Use to flavour soups , stews , etc - even salads.
Ingredients
celery, nonstick cooking spray
